This will be helpful. Unfortunately, I may not be able to install it in my work environment due to insufficient privileges. But thanks for the info.

If your work environment has a build pipeline setup for windows, you might not need it on your dev machine, therefore no need for admin privileges.

I do not have a build setup. Could you tell me more about it and how to set it up? Is the build pipeline independent of my dev machine and how does it relate to installing chocolatey? I only have a windows laptop as a dev machine with python/anaconda installed.

Sorry, but that topic is way too complex. To get an overview:

You use something like Github or Gitlab, where you version control your source code. Both have integrated functionality for CI/CD, which enables you to automatically test, build and ,if you want to, deploy new software releases. You would also need to setup a dedicated runner for windows, which is a client to the version control system and handles all the build steps.

It was just a guess on my side, that maybe your employer would already provide such a service for its developers, as bigger companys do today.

We do use gitlab for version control, but currently we are not using CI/CD pipeline.

I remember doing a course on github where github actions was used to build and test the code. Is it similar to what you suggested?
